Gerald Wilson and his orchestra

[leftshu]

The other day a package was left on my porch. It was marked from Mosaic but I did not place the order. My wife informed me that my kids went together and ordered the set for fathers day. Every day I see that package on the kitchen table. Fathers day is a few weeks away and I'm chompin' at the bit to spin these disks. Anyone have this set? What's your take? Counting the days...

Oh, yeahhhhhhhhhhhh.

It's a fun one!

You are in for a real treat. This is actually one

of my favorite Mosaic sets.

Some really great arrangements and

totally outlandish big band jazz packed in there.

The kids got great taste!!

It's a really good set... There's a few songs which are a dud but overall... a B/B+ ..

see the previous threads when I was thinking about it...

Thanks to you all for the good words on this set. My kids are thoughtful but my wife is the one who gave them the idea. I am a lucky man. Counting the days...

Fantastic music. You're in for a treat!

It is a nice set ... BUT this album is not included:

This is my favorite one w/ Wilson arrangements. This means that you also need the Carmell Jones Mosaic Select! -_-

Speaking of Wilson arrangements, I highly recommend this album. 12 of the 17 tracks are arranged by Gerald and the rest by Oliver Nelson.
